Lucy and Henry

These two are completely rotten… and it might be my fault! One look with those sweet faces and they get whatever they want 😍

Guess who ate a tampon and had to go to the urgent care?

Everyone knows its Butters! This is his end time going to the vet for an emergency vomit. Last time he was 10 weeks old and decided eating 40 of his sister's apequil would be a super fun thing to do

Early Afternoon Nap Time!

Cannoli is extra sleepy! We love to marathon Paw&Order and take serious naps together on the couch 🩵

Is it ok to get a basset for my first dog?

I’ve loved bassets ever since I first saw them, and I’m now trying to convince my parents to let me get a dog for emotional support (my therapist agrees that it could improve my life, I’m not just trying to get a dog) and I desperately want a floppy eared menace. I’m just not sure if I should because I haven’t owned a dog before. I’ve owned rats (8 in total stretched over multiple years, all dead by now) and that gives me some experience in caring for an animal but I’m still not confident enough about it. Are they a viable dog for me to get and raise properly?

Kratos is almost 4 month old

This dog is such a ham. He’s not as bitey anymore, which is great, especially with having small kids.

We took our first road trip with him (about a 9 hour drive, broken into 6 and 3 hour stretches). He did great, I was shocked he didn’t fuss or bark much until the last couple hours when he was over it.

Jeep Wrangler + hound dog

Do any Basset slaves drive a lifted Jeep Wrangler and have a solution for getting my boy in it? I have Lupus and severe arthritis and its killing me. I bought a ramp but its so heavy I can barely lift it out and the dog is terrified of it. My Jeep is lifted and has big tires, not the best solution I know but I love it and I love my hound dog. I wish I could come up with some kind of hydraulic system or elevator type thing.

Nail trims

I have a young basset hound, hes not a year old yet and I cant seem to get him comfortable with any type of nail clippers. Sander. Files. He hates it all and pulls away or bites at whatever tool im attempting to use. Is there a basset hound secret? Haha hes going to the vet next week for his next appointment and theyre going to do them for me there. I just would like some direction on what's been a successful solution for others?

I asked my dad to take care of Toffie while I'm travelling, he sent me the ultimate basset pic instead
